THE PLAYERS CENTRE PRESENTS TOPICAL 12 ANGRY JURORS Contact Name: Amanda Heisey Contact Email: amandah@theplayers.org Contact Phone Number: 9413652494 Sarasota, FL – Jan. 30, 2020– From Feb. 6 through Feb. 16, 2020 Twelve Angry Jurors ushers the Backstage at The Players series into the new decade. Tensions rise as a jury deliberates a capital murder case. Each juror begins to question what they thought they knew. Story: A jury must decide whether a 16-year-old man is guilty of murdering his father. The jury votes 11-1 that the man is guilty of the crime, but laws in the United States require a unanimous vote by all 12 jurors in order to pass judgment. Tempers flare as the 11 jurors try their best to convince the one dissenter to come around to their side. As the evidence is re-examined, however, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to truly question if there is in fact some measure of “reasonable doubt”. Twelve Angry Jurors is a heightened courtroom thriller that puts you on the edge of your seat while powerfully exploring what it means to live in a democracy. Directed by Elliot Raines with help from Assistant Director Donna DeFant, and Stage Manager Diane Cepeda, with costumes by Andrea Bloom, lighting design by Alyssa Goudy and set design by Ken Junkins, Twelve Angry Jurors will keep you on the edge of your seat.
